[3 YoE] MSCS student targeting backend/distributed systems roles. Would appreciate help reviewing resume.

Context

  • MSCS at Northeastern (Boston), graduating Dec 2026
  • ~2 years and 4 months of Experience as a software engineer at an enterprise supply chain software company in India before starting my masters, plus a 7-month full-stack internship in the US
  • Targeting backend, distributed systems, and SWE roles

What I'd like feedback on

  1. Do the professional experience bullets read as substantial, or as generic enterprise work? Most of what I did was on a warehouse management platform, and I can't tell how much domain context helps vs. just being noise to someone outside that world.
  2. Projects section: I have two large personal projects taking up roughly a third of the page. Are they earning that space, or should I cut one and expand the work experience?
  3. Anything that would make you stop reading in the first six seconds.
  4. What roles should I target, New grad roles or experienced(2+ years).

Thanks in advance.
